Our post graduate Mental Health and Disability Management program students are ready to virtually support individuals, families, and communities. As a “professional in training”, our students are ready to help out in various ways, developing their skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are necessary to enter the field. We are looking for placement sites where students can apply in practice the concepts and theories learned in the classroom. The students have learned in the classroom about many aspects of disability management and mental health work, including interpersonal skills, counseling, group facilitation, harm reduction, and case management. Please note that all of our students will have their Vulnerable Sector Screening completed.

The students are available for 336 hours of unpaid, for-credit work experience beginning in May, 2021.

Students have to create a learning contract as part of their field placement course, that outlines their specific deliverables, that is agreed upon by the agency. Students need to complete 200 hours for their Field Placement course.
